Has anyone installed a paddleshift system on the 901 transmission? I would be interested to hear about the experience....i.e. installation difficulties, cost, vendor, etc.

Ya, something just like that. Not too hard to design a drum that moves the external rod to a set position in a preprogrammed sequence. Basically a mechanical computer.
However, I could more easily make a hydraulic setup to make shifting unbelievably crisp with my other in the box modifications. I like making things (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I need to source some small hydraulic cylinders and get to tinkering....in a few months. |

If you visualize the grooved drum, I think you will find that it is not possible for it to move a follower in two directions as required to follow the "H". The follower can only be moved along the axis of the drum. It could be made to work if the drum acted directly on the shift forks with one groove for each fork/slider. That's how motorcycle transmissions work (at least all the ones I've had apart). |
